Definitions

• the present invention relates to a powdery compound emulsifier, and its preparation and use.
• the present invention relates to a powdery compound emulsifier, obtained by pulverizing a liquid or paste compound emulsifier containing a surfactant selected from the group consisting of sucrose fatty acid esters, glycerine fatty acid esters and sorbitan fatty acid esters by the addition of crystalline alpha-maltose, as well as to the preparation and use of such compound.
• a surfactant selected from the group consisting of sucrose fatty acid esters, glycerine fatty acid esters and sorbitan fatty acid esters by the addition of crystalline alpha-maltose, as well as to the preparation and use of such compound.
• two or more surfactants are used in combination.
• a compound emulsifier containing two or more surfactants is used to improve the emulsifying and foaming powers of oil and fat, the storage stability of the emulsifier per se, the mechanical processibility of other materials such as wheat flour and starch, and the quality and shelf life of the final products.
• propylene glycol or sorbitol is used in combination and the use leads to a compound emulsifier in paste.
• Compound emulsifier in paste has the drawbacks that it is inconvenient to handle; that it is difficult to divide by weight; and that it requires a relatively high skill in mixing it together with powder materials such as starch and wheat flour.
• Japanese patent publication No. 5,705/68 proposes that a mixture of two melted surfactants and anhydrous crystalline glucose is pulverized and mixed with wheat flour.
• Japanese patent publication No. 23,023/72 proposes that a syrup of food-grade surfactants, prepared in the presence of a saccharide, is mixed with egg and dehydrated at below 60° C.
• Japanese patent publication No. 19,873/74 proposes that a mixture solution prepared by dissolving surfactants and mannitol in warm water is spray-dried.
• Japanese patent laid-open No. 93,686/79 proposes that a mixture of beta-cyclodextrin, food-grade surfactants and either or both of melted saccharide and/or melted sugar alcohol is cooled and pulverized.
• a compound emulsifier containing surfactants in particular, those selected from the group consisting of sucrose fatty acid esters, glycerine fatty acid esters and sorbitan fatty acid esters, in order to develop a novel powdery compound emulsifier that is satisfactory in emulsifying and foaming powers and superior in storage stability.
• a superior powdery compound emulsifier is successfully obtained by adding crystalline alpha-maltose to a liquid or paste compound emulsifier containing two or more members selected from the group consisting of sucrose fatty acid esters, glycerine fatty acid esters and sorbitan fatty acid esters; and converting the crysrtalline alpha-maltose into crystalline beta-maltose hydrate to effect pulverization.
• the working "liquid or paste compound emulsifier" as referred to in the invention designates a substantially homogeneous liquid or paste containing two or more members selected from the group consisting of sucrose fatty acid esters, glycerine fatty acid esters and sorbitan fatty acid esters.
• surfactants for example, propylene glycol fatty acid ester, calcium lactate fatty acid ester and lecithin, can be advantageously used in combination with any of the above described surfactants. If the surfactant to be used is solid or semisolid and this hinders homogenization with other surfactant, the surfactant should be prepared as a liquid or paste by adding it to an appropriate amount of water, and dissolving the resultant mixture by heating.
• either of ethyl alcohol, maltose, oil and fat may be added together with water in an amount, desirably, less than that of water, in order to accelerate the homogenization or to stabilize the dissolved surfactants.
• the present invention is characterized in that crystalline alpha-maltose is an edible nutriment.
• a liquid or paste compound emulsifier is pulverized by adding thereto crystalline alpha-maltose thereof, and allowing the crystalline alpha-maltose to convert to crystalline beta-maltose hydrate while accelerating the conversion by ageing at a temperature of about 20°-70° C. for about 0.1-5 days.
• the amount of crystalline alpha-maltose is from about 0.5- to 15-times, desirably, from 0.8- to 10-time of that of the liquid or paste compound emulsifier.
• Crystalline alpha-maltose may be a crystalline alpha-maltose powder as disclosed in Japanese patent laid-open No. 35,800/86, or that commercialized by Hayashibara Co., Ltd., Okayama, Japan, under the trade name of "FINETOSE®".
• the wording "converting crystalline alpha-maltose into crystalline beta-maltose hydrate to effect pulverization" as referred to in the invention includes the following two cases: In one of the cases, a paste compound emulsifier wherein crystalline alpha-maltose has been converted in part into crystalline beta-maltose hydrate is pulverized, for example, by spray-drying, and the resultant emulsifier is solidified and tempered. In the other case, a solid compound emulsifier wherein crystalline alpha-maltose has been simultaneously converted into crystalline beta-maltose hydrate is pulverized, for example, by means of cutting or scraping the solid emulsifier. Either case leads to a stable emulsifier powder.
• the obtained powder may be subjected to dehydrating, screening and granulating steps in order to augment its quality.
• the compound emulsifier of the invention is in the stable nonhygroscopic powder, and is easily mixable with other powder materials.
• the present emulsifier exerts sufficient emulsifying and foaming powers, and is excellent in storage stability. Thus, it is advantageously usable in food products, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
• the present emulsifier improves the emulsifying and foaming powers of oil and fat, the mechanical processibility of food materials such as starch and wheat flour, and the quality and shelf life of the final products.
• premix powders for use in confectionaries, bakery products, noodles and vermicelli can be prepared by adding the present emulsifier to one or more powder materials such as starch, wheat flour, rye flour, barley flour, corn flour or soybean flour, if necessary, together with one or more of dried yeast, baking powder, defatted milk, seasoning, fortifier, quality-improving agent, coloring agent and flavoring agent.
• the present emulsifier improves the emulsifying and cleansing powers, the dispersibility of oil-soluble substances in water, and the affinity of the cosmetic ingredients to the skin, as well as imparting appropriate gloss and texture.
• the present emulsifier improves the affinity and absorption of the effective ingredients to or by the cells and tissues, as well as improving the mechanical processibility.
• Powdery compound emulsifier obtained by the method in Experiment 2, were tested for emulsifying and foaming powers.
• sucrose fatty acid ester 10 parts of glycerine mono fatty acid ester, 10 parts of sorbitan mono fatty acid ester, 30 parts of crystalline alpha-maltose and 40 parts of water were mixed to homogeneity by heating to 90°-95° C. similarly as in Experiment 1, and the resultant paste was kneaded with 180 parts of crystalline alpha-maltose powder. The resultant was solidified by two-day standing at 30° C.
• the resultant solid contained crystalline beta-maltose hydrate converted from the crystalline alpha-maltose.
• the solid was fed to a pulverizer to obtain a powdery compound emulsifier.
• the product was sufficient in emulsifying and foaming powers, and excellent in storage stability.
• the product is advantageously usable in food products in general such as confectioneries and bakery products, as well as in detergents, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
• sucrose fatty acid ester 10 parts of glycerine mono hardened beef tallow fatty acid ester, 8 parts of sorbitan monostearate, 30 parts of crystalline beta-maltose hydrate, 5 parts of lard and 70 parts of water were mixed by heating similarly as in Example 1, and the resultant liquid compound emulsifier was mixed with 420 parts of crystalline alpha-maltose powder.
